The Positive Side Of High Gas Prices

September 11, 2005|Troy Mason Lighthouse Point

I'm confused with the liberal rhetoric complaining about high gas prices. It seems that this is just what the doctor ordered.

High gas prices should curb the sales of the gas-guzzling sport utility vehicles the Sierra Club has been complaining about for so many years. The low cost of gas has contributed to the inability to replace fossil fuels with an alternative source; the cost was too high to compete with gasoline.

Now there will be a competitive alternative. Not to mention the fuel conservation that will take place because of gas prices.

The end result is that less fossil fuel will be used (by the U.S.), and the liberal fringe should get its wish. Not to mention the stupid notion of the greenhouse effect will be curbed due to the evil U.S. using less gasoline. The final result will be an alternative solution, like cars that run on water or banana peels, or better, a horse. In either case, none of this could happen without the high cost of gasoline.

Liberals should be dancing in the streets. Could one of you fine liberals out there help me out on this?
